ESTELLE ‘NEWMAN

The Romance of the Organist of
North Egremont.

Miss Newman's Death and Alleged Resuscl-
tation—From the Graveto the Dissecting
Room—Discovered Alive and Placed in an
Insane Asylum— Restored té Health and
Married—An Improbable Story—The Rela
tives Incredulous.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

Mass., December 12.—A dreary drive
of four miles from great Barrington, in the face of
a blinding snow storm, brought your correspond-
ont to the neatly kept farm of Judge Rowley, of
Forth Egremont, the uncle of Estelle Newman, who
is alleged to have been restored to life in a medical
college dissecting room, and administrator of her,
estate. Judge Rowley is chairman of the Select-
men of his town, and a conservative conscientious
gentleman of the old school, and from him were
gleaned many facts throwing additional light upon
the very strange story regarding Miss Newman's
supposed death and subsequent resuscitation. Miss
Newman, it appears, was a bright lady of 80 years
of age, of excellent parentage, highly cultured and
having many warm friends. For many years she
had been

ORGANIST OF THE METHODIST CHURCH
at North Egremont. In December, 1878,
just as she, with others, was interested
in an approaching Christmas entertainment, she
had an attack of spinal meningitis. Her death en-
sued early in January. The funeral was attended
from the Methodist Church, and the interment was
in tLe family lot adjoining the church. Among the
morners at the grave was one H. North Wright, an
Egremont young man, who was at that time study-
ing surgery in a college at Albany. He had long
known Miss Newman, although so far as known
their friendship never had approached to intimacy.
On the evening of the day of the funeral, a
country bali was given at Egremont,
which H. North Wright and bis brother
attended. Afterward the young man returned to
his studies at Albany, graduating high in his class.
He settled at Sheffield, Mass., for a while, but later
drifted into Connecticut, where he died in 1881 after
some years of dissipation. Now comes
THE STRANGE PART OF THE STORY!

It is alleged that during the night following the
burial H. North Wright and three fellow students
visited the graveyard, exhumed the body of Miss
Newman, and carried it to Albany; that soon after
reaching the dissecting room evidences of life were
found, and the girl became animate. She
was at once taken to Bellevue
Hospital, New York, where, after a period of in-
sanity, she regained her health, and was then taken
to the home of the uncle of oneof the
ghoulish students, residing in Schoharie County,
New York State. The student was in partnership
with his uncle in practicing medicine and surgery.
Her health entirely returned and her mind became

as bright as ever. In 1881 she read ſu a newspaper

of the murder of Dr. Wright at Newtown, Conn.,
and at once showed a great interest in the case, af-
firming that Dr. Wright was an old friend,
and seemingly faintly recalling to mind
her supposed fatal illness at home,
In the meantime, however, the student at whose
uncle’s house she was living had fallen deeply in
love with her and married her. Thestory further
details that the pair are now living in New Rock
City, and propose to visit the scenes of the lady's
childhood during the present winter. So much for
the story which has upset the usual quietude of
North Egremont and the surrounding towns, and
resulted in a
PANDEMCNIUM OF GOSSIP.
Mr. Rowley states that application has been made
tohim by distant relatives of Miss Newman to
open the grave and settle the question of
her death, He does not favor this plan,
believing, first, that the story is false, and, second,
preferring to let the matter remain an uncertainty
rather than open the grave with the possibility of
finding his worst fears confirmed. He leaves town
to-morrow for an extended trip to Virginia, doubt-
less glad to get away for atime from an air laden
with uncomfortabie rumors. He was the executor
of Miss Newman's estate, and the $7,000 left by her
has been disposed of by law. He never had sus-
spected that she was living untila week ago. The
Barrington Post Office was crowded at noon,
and all the villagers were gossiping about the
story. W. F. Crippen, a cousin of the girl, states
that three-fourths of the people of Egremont fully
believe that
MISS NEWMAN'S BODY WAS EXHUMED.

and further states that if the proper authorities do

not at once take steps to settle the question, the

citizens will take the matter into their own hands
and find out the truth or untruth of the story. He
is willing to make oath to the fact that four young
men were driven out of the Cemetery on the night
in question and is positive that the story
is tue, at least in so far as the theft
of the body is concerned. The flames are
further fed by the statement of one of the women
who was present at the death of Miss Newman, and
who stated that two days after the suppdsed death,
on the day of the funeral, she accidentally touched
the back of the body, and found a spot so warm
that the heat was plainly perceptible, even through
the clothing. Mré. Newman, the mother of Estelle,
and Mrs. Chappell. a sister of the woman alleged
to have been resurrected, relate circumstances
which increase the improbabilities of the current
gossip. Mrs. Chappel ad heard nothing
of the romance concerning heg buried relative.
She was with Estelle when she was supposed to die,
The sick woman had been througha religious re-
vival and
HER MIND WAS AFFECTED.

Her mania took the form of a conviction that it was
her duty not to eat, and she died from starvation,
together with spinal complaiut. Her flesh was so
wastedthat it was thought impossible that she
could have been brought back to life in the strange
way reported. The current story receives another
blow in the statement of W. R. Wright, of Hudson,
N. V., who denies that his brother, the late Dr.
Wright, ever confessed to him about taking the
body of Miss Newman to Albany. . °

LOVE’S RIVALRY.
A Village Belie’s Attempt to Blind an

the village blacksmith of Preston, whose house is

across the road from Mr. Twomey’s.
A sharp rival sprang up between the girls in gaining
the attention of the village beaux, andthe dandi-
fied young fellows were

DRAWN INTO THE TIDE.

Each night in the week kerosene lamps burned in
the front windows of the “best room” in each
dwelling, and suitors crossed their legs before the
rival tete-a-tetes, ate red-cheeked Preston apples
and drank Preston cider at the expenssof Mr.
Chapmanand Mr. Twomey, The girls had been
warm friends at the outset, but within a day or
two their relations became seriously strained. Each
had all the beaux she needed, but the contest had
narrowed down to a covetous struggle for the heart
of Horace C. Corning, a spruce young chap of the
neighborhood who wore tight trousers,a rakish
Derby hat aud gorgeous neckties. Early this week
Miss Susan led in the race of love, but she was not

satisfied with her suctess. To give force to her
triumph, it is said, she went to the front of her
rival's house after dark and
PEEPED IN THE WINDOW,

and threw sand and gravel at the panes behind
which Miss Miner was entertaining her lovers. Miss
Florence threw a desultory glance at a small bottle
of creosote on the mantel, belonging to Mr. Chap-
man, 4s the gravel rattied on. the window glass, but
she gave no other indication that she wag disturbed.
After 2 last night Mr. Horace C. Corning put
on his showiest necktie, took his slimmest cane
and went over to Susan,
not a half: a dozen rods from his
own house. That young lady was just setting out
to visit her sister in this town, and she asked Horace
to go with her. ' go and get my overcoat,” said
he, and he left Miss Susan in the dusky street as he
went to his house. He returned in a moment. A

d ery from across the street in front of the
Chapman dwelling called him quickly thither. The
cry had been uttered by Susan, who, with her hands
before her eyes. was screaming:

“THEY HAVE BLINDED ms!
They have blinded me!” He helped the girl into
his mother’s house. Dr. Brewer of this city found
large white spots on her face and on the whites of
her eyes. He called nat midnight. He said it
was too early to tell whether Miss Susan's eyesizht
was seriously impaired. Creosote or carbolic acid
had caused the spots, he said. Miss Twomey made
no accusation against her assailant, except that
contained in her cry—‘they have blinded me.“
Policeman Corcoran of Preston arrested Miss
Miner, and she spent last night in the police station
in this city. When seen last evening she was dressed
in the extreme of fashion. She was in rollicking
good humor, apparently unconscious of the vity
of the offense, for which the pena!ty under the laws
of this State is — — in State prison for not
less than seven and not more than ten years.
HER EYES SPARKLED
as she said that she had noticed the vial of creosote
on the mantel, and thought it would be a good thing
to punish Susie with for peeping in the window and
throwing gravel and sticks at the house. Handsome
colored Grand Juror Joshua C. Anderson, a black-
smith, prosecuted Miss Miner before Justice of the
Peace U. D. Bates, in John Gallagher's neat little
town hall in Preston village at 1 p. m. to-day,
charging her with a malicious attempt to maim and
ure. She was defended by S. A. Cran

esq.. of this city, who introduced no evidence. Miss
Florence was in court smiling. Miss Twomey was
too ill to appear. The hall was crowded, and among
the spectators were a score of both the girls’ admir-
ers. Justice Bates held Miss Miner in $1,000 for trial
before the next term of the Superior Court. She
was committed to the Norwich jail this afternoon.
Her fatuer will f il as soon as he can be
communicated with.

Strange Revelation of Crimes in the Molly
Maguire District.
By Telegranh to the Post-Dispatch.

WILKESBARRE, PA. December 12.—Four weeks ago
news was received in this city that Dave Howard, a
former resident of this county, and a noted des-
perado, had been taken from a jail in Dakota
Territory, where he was accused of murder, and

lynched by a masked mob. Before dying he eon- -

fessed to the sheriff that he bad participated in
several murders in this county during the years
1877, 1878 and 1879—the time ot

He also
partners in crime. Nothing further was heard of

the matter until yesterday morning, when

THE COUNTY WAS ELECTRIFIED
by the news that Wm. Judson Garrison, a teamster
of Plymouth, had been arrested, charged with the

commission of a frightful crime, that in 1878 excited
the people of this section. On the 18th of January,
in that year, Philip Callender, a wealthy and promi-
nent farmer and miller of Township, was
driving home with his son in the evening when he
was shot and killed, two bullets being sent through
his head from behind. e son said he saw two
men running away directly after the shots were
fired, The circumstances were so suspicious, how-
ever, that the son was arrested for the murder, but
DISCHARGED FOR WANT OF EVIDENCE.
Since then the crime has been buried in mystery.
The authorities claim that Dave Howard's confes-
sion names Garrison as one of the murderers,
During the three years there were many mysterious
crimes in this section, and, though the police are
very reticent and wili disclose no names or facts, it
is known that other arrests for other crimes will
shortly be made, and the most intense excitement
prevails. Garrison isthe man who, about a year
ago, created a great sensation by becoming

Lake Hotel by a Justice in the presence of many
friends. The ceremony was completed. the Justice
was making out the ificate and Garrison stooped
over to kiss his new made bride. Scarcely had his
lips touched hers, when he uttered a fearfu! yell
and sprang with a bound on the table, and, calling
out that he was ins of God toreform the world
commenced tearing off his clothes, shoutin and
foaming at the mouth. All those present fled in
alarm, except Justice Ande who sought to
catch the maniac, who knocked him down witha
chair. The madman then smashed everything
breakable in the room, tore off every rag of cloth-
ing he had on and fled through the window. He
was pursued and finally, after a desperate struggle,
was Ca bound hand and foot and taken to
jail. He was subsequently sent to the asylum and
was disc about a month ago as cured. A

to be perfectly sane, and totally denies the crime.
He is of a very respectable family, his father being

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

New Yorg, December 12.—Tne Patent Medicine
Poo! is trembling on the verge. It is doubtful if the
most powerful nostrums can restore its vitality. It
has assumed the horrible“ before taking” aspect, with
little, if any, prospect that it will ever again be
able to present that healthy vigorous appearance
which men have come to know as the “after tak
ing” phenomenon. Almost everybody is familiar
with the organization, last April, of what is known
as the “Campion Pool of Proprietary Medicines.”
It took its name from a Dr. Campion, of Philadel-
phia, who owns among other valuables, the pro-
prietary right to “Dr. Wishard’s Worm Syrup -
Drops.” This gentleman, it will be remembered,
called a meeting of a number of leading patent
medicine proprietors and persuaded them to form
a league for the purpose of boycotting all whole
sale dealers who should, in the future, sell any of
their patent medicines to jobbers or retailers below
a fixed and stipulated price. I he principles of the
Campion League were monopolistic in the
extreme. Its object was apparent. Re
tail druggists in all parts of the country
were complaining that their rivals in business were

UNCONSCIONABLY CUTTING PRICES.
This league of proprietors (which combined the
owners and manufacturers of many of the most
famous patent medicines) undertook to protect re-
tail customers by placing cast-iron restrictions upon
the wholesalers. A war was the inevitable result.
In this city such men as Riker, Hegeman and others
declared that worms, coughs, rheumatism, tooth-
ache, and the thousand ills that flesh is heir to.“
should be ministered to at such prices as they chose
to fix, the Campion, or any other league, to the con-
trary. The wholesale dealers, however, generally
accepted the situation, and entered into con-
tracts with Campion and his companions
whereby they pledged themselves not to
sell to any druggists whose names should appear
upon the Campion “black list.“ The first New York
house to weary of this contract was that of C. N.
Crittenden, No, 115 Fulton street. On July 3, last.
this house annulled its contracts with the Campion
pool, and declared its intention of

PADDLING ITS OWN CANOE.
The poo], it is true, controlled fifty of the most pop-
ular patent medicines on the market, but the house
of Crittenden deals in something like 8,000 differ
ent proprietary articles, and concluded that it could
afford to go it alone. This was a severe blow to the
pool, and there seems very little doubt that the in-
dividual members of it sought to saddle its sever-
ity upon their fellow members, while they, individ-
ually, escaped. Certain it is that the Crittenden
establishment found no difficulty, although boy-
cotted by the pool, in obtaining all they needed of
the goods which the pool controls. At the time of
annulling its contract this house had but a very
small supply of the various articles embraced in the
pool. Yesterday the Post-Dispatoc# correspondent
was shown thousands of cases of Tarrant's, Ben-
son’s, Hostetter’s, Ayers, Vogeler'’s, Hood's,
for sale
at regular prices. The weakness of the pool being
generally known, it wasa tremendous surprise to
the trade at large when, on Wednesday, a notice
was promulgated to the effect that the extensive
firm of McKesson & Robinson, Fulton street, had
been blacklistea by the Campion syndicate. It
appears, however, that the action of the syndicate
was no very great surprise to McKesson & Robin-
son, they having
FROM SOME PRIVATE SOURCE

received five days’ notice that such action was
to be taken, and having, of course, improved these
five days ln laying in an immense stock of articles
from the purchase of which thev were in the
future to be excluded. The reason given by the
syndicate for black-listing this house is as follows:
Several weeks agoa druggist of Astoria, named
John W. Riehl, purchased a bill of McKesson &
Robinson, among which were a few bottles of Dr.
Bull’s Cough Syrup. Riechi’s name appeared on the
black-list of the Campion Syndicate. In explanation
of this apparent violation of contract, McKesson &
Robinson say that the clerk who sold the goods to
the Astoria druggist consulted the Brooklyn list of
boycotted pharmacists, thinking that such list in-
cluded Astoria, and not finding the name of Riehl
thereon he supposed that druggist in good standing.
When the matter was reported to the meeting of
the Campion syndicate at Philadetphia, on Decem-
ber 3. an order was issued boycotting McKesson &
Robinson, and after December 9, without giving the
firmany chanceto offeran explanation. It now
appears that the syndicate,

The Coroner’s Inquest on the Body of
the Pretty Book Agent—Evidence
Affecting the Character of the Dead

Verdict and the Funeral.

The inquest on the remains of Alma Rose Bishop
was begun by Ooroner Niedelet yesteraay afternoon.
There had been some trouble in getting the jury
together, and when the witnesses had assembied it
was almost 8 o'clock. The inquest was held at the
premises where the death occurred, 1410 Olive
street, Dr. Rutledge’s house. In a short time
the parlors were filled, and a great deal of curiosity
was manifested by all present to see the body cf the
dead. Alma's remains were in the back parlor,
coffined and dressed for burial. A rather cheap
black dress ent olded the stiffened form: ‘one of the
arms crossed the body, the other lay along the side.
At the neck and at the ends of the sleeves a little
cheap white lace peeped out, accentuating and
making even more ghastly the purplish hues of the
throat and hands, The black hair lay in a rich pro-
fusion about the face, no longer a beautiful one in
color, for the shadow of death was covering it dark-
ly, and the mysterious processes of dissolution were
already at work despite the art of the embalmer. It
was not alone the jurymen and the wituesses
who desired to gaze on the wreck of loveliness there
dead. Morbidly curious women again and again
rang the door bell and entreated to be let in to see
the remains. Of course they were refused, but they
hung hungrily about the door and yearned to be
admitted into the chamber which their fancy
painted full of the most enticing horrors.

The old fashion of swearing the jurors and the
witnesses over the bodv was gone through with, and
the party then retreated tothe dining-room, where
seats were found, and the first witness, Dr. J. M.
, Clopton, was called. Much interest was excited when
the dcctor described a visit made to his office by

Miss Bishop some days ago, and the interest in-
creased to positive sensation when her errand Ba

stated. There was first some question as to whether
the doctor should but he 1 — etermingd

His eer was conclusive in showing that Alma
Bishop had not been the pure girl that her friends
believed. He examined her, but could find no con-
clusive proof of the disease which she feared. Dr.
Clopton was subsequently called into the case when
the girl was dying, but finding that his prescrip-
tions were not being administered, he withdrew.
He did not suspect that the girl was suffering from
a criminal yam ery and was told nothing about it.

Dougherty of the Postal Telegraph Company this
morning began moving out the effects of that com-
pany from the office which it had been sharing with
the Bankers’ and Merchants’ to the one which the
Postal originally occupied in the Mitchell Building.
This movement, which leaves the Bankers’
aad Merchants’ Company in possession of
the premises im which they were conducting their
business at the time of — 14 —— some six
months since, is somew a surprise to com-
mercial community, who had been led to believe
that the mutual interests of the two companies
were such that a separation was an exceedingly
unlikely occurrence. The real cause of the move-
ment isunknown. It was stated to-day that the
Western Union had secured a bold of some kind on
the Bankers and Mercbants’, and that the absorp-
tion of the latter by the larger corporation would,
in due course of time, follow. eresult of the
separation. as is usual when large corporations in
the same line of business break up poolig arrange-
ments, will de beneficial to the public.
When allied with a concern whose
rates did not cut under those of the
Western Union the Postal Company, whose avowed
intention has always been to cheapen telegraphy,
did not seem to be carrying out its announced mis-
sion, which, under the now existing circumstances
it will be free to accomplish. At the office of the
lately allied companies a Pogr- Diss gon reporter
this morning met both Mr. Chris. Dougherty of
the Postal and Mr. George M. Myers, the Western
Division, * gan ory of the nkers' and Mer-
chants’. . Dougherty said, in answer toa ques-

on:
“I do not think that
ANY TROUBLE BETWEEN THE HEADS

of the two companies has caused this separation.
I think itsimply means that Mr. Mackay has decid-
ed that henceforth and for ever the Postal Teie-
graph Company is going to be by itself.
It has a musion to perform and it is
gol to perform it. It would be e
Sie to ony that henceforward Mr. Mackay will ap-
piy himself to the rapid development of the com-
a working resources.”

“When do you move out of here!“

our old quarters by this evening.”

“What rates are you going to charge when you
get back there?”
“Our old rates—twenty-five cents for a twenty-
word message to any point on our lines.“
“How many operators did you employ in your
joint office?” 9
From ten to twelve.“
3 will you divide them upon the separa-
tion?
“I can’t say yet. The two offices separated will
give employment to more operators than they did
when combined.”
“Does any change in the local management attend
the separation!“
“No change. Igo back as manager of the Postal
and a new manager will be appointed for the Bank-
ers’ and Merchants’.”
Couversation was also had with Mr. Myers, who
stated that the reason the Bankers’ aud Merchants’
Company was separating from the Postal was sim-

Ordinance 12976, approved June 11, 1884, conferred
upon the St. Louis K.evated and Rapid Transit Rail-
way Company a franchise to construct and maintain
their railway in this city, imposing upon them the
duty of filing their acceptance of the provisions of
the said ordinance within six months from the

date of its approval; and also, within the
same period, to file a bond of $20,000
and deposit in the City Treasury the sum of $25,000;

which sum was to be absolutely the property of the
city. The time expired last night, and none of

THE EXECUTION QUASHED.

An Old Suit Thrdéwn Out of Court by Judge
Treat.
In the United States District Court to-day Judge
Treat sustained a motion to quash the execution in
the case of the United States against Daniel H.
Donovan. Donovan was the collector of this port in
1861 and 1862, and at the expiration of his term of
office he was sued on his official bond for +. certain
amount collected by him and which, it was claimed.
he was not allowed to appropriate to himseif.

A judgment was rendered against him for the
amount with interest. The principal sum was —
into the Treasury, but not the interest. A short

ply that the former had decided to dance
its own jig in the future. “Our lines,” be said. ex-
tend over a vast stretch of coun-
try. We 80 west as far as
Kansas City. We run to New York from
here via Chicago, and

FROM OUR EASTERN CENTER
we run down South clear tarouch Georgia. We
ought to be able to do a good business with these
facilities, and I believe we shall. Our St. Louis bus-
iness cannot fail to be profiiabie.”’
“Is any change of rates likely to follow the sepa-
ration?”
“Na; our rates will be the same as before—the
regular rates of the Western Union Company—with
a night rate of fifteen words for fifteen cents to all
points except Southern, which will be half of the
day rate.

“Who is to be your local manager?”
„Mr. S. B. Roberts. who will be remembered as the
former manager of the Bal imore £Onio,a gentleman
who is well known to St. Louis bubiness men, and
who, I beiieve, will take good care of our interests in
this city.”
It will be remembered that the consolidation of
the Postal and Bankers’ and Merchants’ Companies
was made at the time that these com-
anies combined with the Baltimore and Olio in the
ormation of a single concern which it was believed
was going to prove a strong conipetitor of the
Western Union. The consolidation had been in ex-
iatence but a very short time, however, when the
Baltimore and Ohio pulled out. This latest rupture
gives the city four distinct telegraph offices, which,
it anything like sharp competition arises among
them. an supply better facilities in the telegraph
line to the people of St. Louis than they have ever
before enjoyed,

THE RIDING SCHOOL SUIT.

The Cavairy Company and Capt. Jennings
Before Judge Kyan.

The case of the St. Louis Cavalry Company vs.

E. N. Jennings, to secure possession of that portion

of the Armory used by the latter for the purposeof
a riding school, was tried by a jury before Justice
Ryan to-day, beginning at 11 o'clock. During the
examination of the jury, a ludicrous scene oc- |
curred when the name of Thomas Bunberry was
called:

„How old are you?” asked counsel.

“Sixty-three, sir”

Married!

No, sir.”

„Ah, wife dead!“

„No. sir.”

„How's that!“

“Never was married,” and amid a round of
laughter he ran his hands with great satisfaction
through the luxuriant mass of hair that still cov-
ered his head.

The trial then proceeded, and the plaintiffs by the
testimony of Lieut. Abadie, Char es F. Joy and I.
1). Picot went on to establish the lease: the company’s
right to its headquarters now occupied by Jennings,
and the damages they were entitled to. It
was shown that Jennings took possession
March 1, 1883, under a lease of one year, paying $25
a month rent, and the plaintiffs’ testimony alleged
that the rent of November and December is now
due and unpaid.

Mr. L. D. Picot bas a — idea of somg of the
damages sustained by the company, and explained
it in answer to the query of defendant's counsel.
“How much was the company damaged?”

to quash this execution on the ground that the
Government had been guilty of laches, and besides
there were other equities in the case that warranted

motion aud order the execution quashed.

THE destruction of the tank of the St. Louis
Gas Company will be regretted by all the gas-
users of the district, particularly when they
receive their next monthly bills.

WE are pained to observe that there is a con-
flict between our distinguished citizen JAcoB
S. MERRELL, the worthy incumbent of the of-
fice of City Treasurer, and one Forpsmirsa, the

alleged secretary of a so-called Repulilican Cen-
tral Committee. Any conflict of veracity be-
tween them is altogether too one-sided to be
interesting.

SomMEBODY keeps popping up every now and
then to say that The American Nation must
take a place among the Great Powers." Don’t
the fools know that there is no place among
the Great Powers at all comparable to the
place we have so long held aloof from them
There is not one of them, except Russia, per-
haps, that would not gladly swap its place for
ours.

Daxkora is vindicating its claim for admission
into the union of peaceful and happy States by
carrying ona county seat war in which a
thousand armed citizens are said to have ranged
themselves on each side. Dakota is vouched
for as a Republican Territory, and nowadays
it seems that identifloation with the grand old
party means trouble, wrangling, ill-feeling and
quarreling generally. :

Our Spanish-American Commissioners have
finished their Mexican investigations and will
sail from Vera Cruz for New Orleans. We
would advise them not to get too far away from
their base of supplies. In the present temper
of the public mind on the question of Spanish-
American treaties it need not surprise any body
if the appropriation for this pleasantly jour-
neying commission should be cut off.

Tue Spanish treaty will take thirty millions
of dollars out of the treasury of the United
States to help the Cubans pay their Spanish
taxes, but thisisonly a slight objection when
we reflect that the dudes who now smoke genu-
ine two-for-a-quarter Havana cigars will here-
after obtain this fragrant luxury at ten cents
straight, Thus does the grand old party pro-
vide for the welfare of the workingman.

Waite Col. BroapHeapD undoubtedly re-
grets the unpleasant necessity which compels
him to deprive the Hon, Dr. MoLEAN, M. C.,
of the seat from the Ninth District for the
Forty-eighth Congress, he still has the compen-
sation of knowing that he did all in his power
toenable the Honorable Doctor to warm the

- chair during the Forty-ninth Congress. It is
due to Mr. GLOVER, not to Col. Broapnegap,
that Dr. McLean is not a member of Congress

elect,

Wx are much obliged to our esteemed Repub-
lican contemporaries for showing us the objec-
tions which make the ratification of the Spanish
treaty out of the question. But why, we may
ask, why were not these objections brought for-
ward earlier? Why was the treaty drawn up
before the welfare or the will of the people
were concerned! Is this a despotism and is Mr.
FRELINGHUYSEN a little tin GORTSCHAKOFF to
enter into diplomatic bargains which have not
even the consent of his own party?

THE sudden and miraculous increase in the
Pohlman-Filley Committee recalls the old story
of the marvelous powers of the liniment. The
inventor—not Dr. McLean, by the way—
to prove its virtue, cut off his dog’s tail and an-
ointod the stump, when a new tail grew out.
This was all right and proper. Then he picked
up the tail and rubbed some liniment on it,
when a new dog grew out, The result was un-
satisfactory on account of the difficulty of
telling which was the dog and which was the
tail.

‘Tre indignation with which Governor Crrr-
TENDEN denies that he went to visit CLxVr-
LAND seems to cast a certain odium on the
Missouri statesmen who did make the pilgrim-
age. Governor CRITTENDEN speaks with the
injured innocence of one who thinks that un-
asked visits to CLEVELAND are an imperti-
nence. He seems to think that such visits
from utter strangers are a liberty and an in-
trusion, and when they are made by

avowed office-seekers for office-fixing purposes

they are as insulting to the President as they

are to the intruders. Governor CRITTENDEN

the proposed treaty is a perfect example of
“true reciprocity.” It takes care that we shall
buy from them twenty times as much as they
buy from us; that we shall surrender thirty
millions of revenue while Spain surrenders only
one-twentieth as much, if any; that ourexports

by us to be taxed there by Spain;
that she may continue to levy on island prod-
ucts the most onerous taxes borne anywhere in
the world, and that the consumers of those
products in this country must continue to pay
those taxes. This is the true reciprocity” for

equivalent to a bonus of $30,000,000 per an-

HELP THE POOR.
Winter, long-delayed, has come on us at last.
The change of a night has thrown thousands
out of employment. They are more poorly
provided to meet the emergency than at any
past time in the history of St. Louis. Never
has there been such scarcity of employment,
such depression of wages, such a multitude
without money as well as without work.
What is the best way to help them? By giv-
ing them work when work is a matter of char-
ity,it matters not how rude and poor itis. Mr.
SPECHT’s suggestion of street cleaning is one to
which we have seen no objectiun raised, There
is no practical difficulty about it. The Street
Comunissioner could well take charge of the
work. A voluntary tax of one hundred thou-
sand dollars raised by the rich to help the poor
would save many an honest mouth from hun-
ger, many an honest woman from shame, keep
life in many poor children and help many to
tide over the hard season until the winter is
past and times are better.
Unless some one can show a better plan than
Mr. Specut’s of helping the poor, let that be
tried—and soon.

In England, France and Germany, and in
several States of our Union, a more enlight-
ened sense of justice has rejected and abol-
ished the old common law rule which protected
an employer from liability to pay damages to
an employe injured in his service by an acci-
dent due to the negligence of a fellow servant.
Under that rule a railroad company could be
held responsible for all damages to persons or
property from accidents to its trains, except in
the case of injuries toits own servants. One
of these might be maimed and disabled for life
in its service, and might be able to show that
he had been guilty of no negligence contribut-
ing to the accident, but if it resulted from the
negligence or incompetency of a co-employe,
though one over whom he had no control, his
claim fordamages was thrown out of court.
That is still the law of Missouri. A member of
the Legislature who introduced a bill to change
it suffocated his own bantling in the commit-
tee-room and has been drawing a big salary as
a railroad attorney ever since. But the United
States Supreme Courtina recent decision has
taken the lead in whittling away the applica-
tion of the old common law principle, without
waiting for statutes to change or abolish it.
Where the engineer of one train was injured
by the negligence of the conductor of another
one of the same company’s trains, the Supreme
Court held that, as they belonged to different
grades, ranks or departments of the service,
they were not fellow servants,” and the en-
gineer’s claim for damages was sustained.

Ovr Mexican reciprocity treaty was ratified
last session and now awaits only the action of
the Congresses of both nations to give it effect
by. making tariff changes in conformity with
its provisions. But in the meantime Mexico
has ratified a new treaty with Great Britain
which stipulates that The High Contracting
Parties agree to extend to each other recipro-
cially for six years the treatment of the most
favored nation in all respects whatsoever.”
This simply means that all treaty modifications
of the Mexican tariff in favor of American
goods in Mexican markets, are to apply equally
to British goods, and that whatever manufac-
tures we sell in Mexico are to be sold in compe-
tition with the alleged “pauper labor of
Europe.“

ENGLAND waited quietly till France and
Egypt had completed the Suez Canal. When
she found the enterprise a success, she quietly
bought up the stock and proceeded to gobble
up Egypt along with the canal. In view of

that neither the Panama Canal nor the Nicara-

Tun Southern Exposition at Louisville is
rising to the dimensions of a national nuisance.
Instead of contenting itself with its proper
function and being what it intends to be, it is
becoming a pestiferous subsidy grabber and
government beggar. It now proposes to take
the Department of Agriculture into partner-
ship on the basis of the Spanish treaty, the
Government to supply a subsidy of a million
and a half and the Exposition to take the
profits. Some of these days some one in Con-

Knew M. Le Morton Forty Years Ago.
From the Rock Island II) Rock Islander
This man Morton, about forty years ago, kept a

dry-goods store and tailor’s shop in Hanover, N. H.
The sign did not read M. Le Morton;" it read L.

P. Morton, Merchant Tailor,“ and the old sign is
said to be still in existence. A brother of the ed
tor of this paper bought Morton out at Hanover,
and then he went to New York and started a bank.
It is nothing to bis discredit thathe wasa tailor,
but it is to his discredit that he now, as United
States Minister to France (which position he bought
of the party by his campaign political contributions
and dirty political work) is ashamed of his name
and gets his cards printed M. Le Morton, United
States Ambassador.” It shows that he is a snob.
President Andrew Johnson was a tailor, but he was
never ashamed of it and never failed to recognize
his brother crafismen whey President, and always
showed his earnest sympathy with all laboring peo-
ple.

Human Life in Scotland.
From the London Truth.
In Scotland they regard, asin England, theft as

a good deal worse than murder. At the High
Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh Lord Young
condemned a manto two months’ imprisonment

for having knocked his wife down and kicked her

to such an extent that she almost immediately died

from lesion ofthe brain. The next prisoner was

convicted of having stolen a letter containing two
half-sovereigns and sixty stamps.

His sentence
was five years’ penal servitude. The moral of this

is, kill your wife, but never commit the far greater

crime of stealing a posiage stamp.

Parisian press. The Baron, who is Dutch, has un-
dergone a number of convictions for robbery, for-
gery and swindling in the Belgian Courts. Mlle.

banker, who had just been liberated from State's
prison, ia a proof that women is not qualified to
compete with the male sex in the banking busi-

der, a clean shirt, and a collar into a gripsack,
jumps aboard the train, and reaches Canada in
safety, while the female banker packs her trunk
with care, makes her toilet with the usual delibera-
tion, and falls into the hands of the police.

protection as expounded and carried into effect by
the Republicans for twenty years past has any busi-

é THE TIMES.

The Times gays, speaking of the senatorial con-
test in this State: “As to factional differences,
they ought to be left wholly out of the account.
Mr. Conkling, who used to be the leader of the fac-
tion calied Stalwart, is now practicing law and he
has no time and we presume no wish to bother his
head about politics Senator Warner Miller, who
was at one time looked on as the leader of what

acy of either of these gentlemen, or to the candi-
dacy of Mr. Morton, Mr, Depew or Mr. Hiscock, but
they are not or should not be, objections which
have anything to do with faction,’

THE TRIBUNE
The Tribune says: I the advantages offered to
this country by the Spanish treaty uncertain
and comparatively small, it is for reason the
more important to ascertain whether the treaty
will work injury to any of our industries, At this
time, when all industries are greatly embarrassed

and the struggle for existence is for many a hard
one, the Senate will surely give consideration to
every feature which threatens to diminish the re-
wards of labor here, or to throw out of employment
American citizens, in order to give better wages to
workers in Cuba or elsewhere."

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

F. H.—Store-keepers are notified when their li-
censes expire.

Vanderbilt is worth, and we are under the impres-
sion that Han-Qua, the Chinese banker of Canton,

J. W. H.—The Blue Book is issued only to mem-
bers of Congress and department officiais, a very

Coleridge’s Prospective Son-in-Law.

From the London Truth.

The plaintiff, Mr. Adams, is a big, heavily-built
man, over six feet in height, and endowed with a
quantity of iron-gray bair. He bas an excellent

| voice and delivery, and made a good, though ter-

rible long-winded, speech His announcement that
he had been an invalid for the first twenty-eight
years of his life created considerable amusement,
for a more robust-lookiug individual is seldom seen.

His Great Sacrifice,
From the Texas Siftings.

A Texas cattle man married a refined young lady
belonging tothe best society of Dallas. A friend
‘him shortly after his marriage, congratu-
lated him on his happy fortune. It's all right, but
I had to make sacrifices,’ replied the newly-made
husband, shaking his head. What sacrifices?”
“I've had to give up going to bed with my boots
and spurs on when I come bome tired.”

A Truly Modest Editor,
From the Watsontown Star. ,

Our Republican friends have generally made it a
rule to put newspaper menin the post offices and
the rule strikes us very favorably. Editors are the
poorest paid party servants, and a post office
salary would be a deserved recognition of service to
the party and the public generally. Modesty forbids
us being more explicit at present.

Their Last Chance.
From the Kansas City Star.

The land grant railroads have established a pow-
erful lobby at Washington to fight the pending
forfeiture bills. A good many Congressmen who
have failed of re-election will, doubtless, improve
the opportunity to turn an honest penny.

Sneering at a Small State.
From the Philadelphia Press.

They say now that Bayard of Delaware wants to
be Secretary of the ‘lreasury under Cleveland.
That isa department of government in whicha
State like Delaware would be chiefly useful asa

Keeping Up the Wheat Acreage.
From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

There is every probability that the farmer in Min-

A Big Corporation Suit Amicably Settled
Without Expense.

PitrepurG, December 12,—The proceedings in the
United States Circuit Court instituted by the Wal.
worth & Lawton Manufacturing Company against
the Merchants’ Telegraph Construction Company
of New Jersey have been discontinued by the con-
sent of all the parties interested. The plaintiffs a).
leged that the defendant was a company insolvent.

The affidavits of the plaintiff and Receiver A. J.
Baldwin were filed, consenting to a discontinuance.
The receiver states that he has neither received nor
paid out any money, and that the property and as-
sets are exactly in the same condition as when he
took charge. Judge Atcheson made a decree in ac-
cordance with the agreement of the parties and dis-
charged the receiver.

WASHINGTON, December 12.—It is a rather curious
and interesting fact that the maker of Cabinets en-
counters, that the most eligible men for these im
portant positions are least willing to take them.
There are plenty of men who have been yearg in
the Senate who are especially fitted for these places.
Take such men as Bayard, Beck. Cockrell, Jones of
Florida, Gorman, Garland and Voorhees, who have
been years inthe Senate and thereby become fa-
millar with public affairs, and they are the very
men who ought to be made the heads of the depart-
ments and the-intimate personal advisers of a
President who does not know or profess to know
much of the details of governmental affairs And
yet, probably, not one of those named would be
willing to exchange his place inthe Senate for a
Cabinet position, Talking with one of these gen-
tlemen last evening, one whose State is presenting
apair of “favorite sons” for Cabinet timber, your
correspondent suggested that one with long ex-
perience inthe Senate, such asthe Senator ad-
dressed had had, was much better fitted for a Cabl-
net place than ;

THE DRIED “sticks”

that were talked of from his own State. “Oh,” he
said, “I wouldn't have it. There is uo position in
the gift of the Administration which I would accept
in exchange for my seat in the Senate. I have seen
too much of the workings of the departments to be
willing to bury myselfthere. If one could be abso-
lutely sure of having his own way, entirely, in the
management of adepartment he might makea
reputation by reforming its service, but it would be
a great task, and one that few men would care to
undertake so long as they hold the responsible po-
sition of a seat in the Senate.” And this is only a
repetition of the remarks of another of the list
mentioned, a few days ago, in response to a like
suggestion. “I don't want.“ he said, to the my
hands and seal my lips just at this critical time in
the history of our party, when it needs careful men
on watch. I propose to remain where I can talk.“
This seemsto bethe general feeling among men
now in public life, and it is because of this that the
“catacombs are being opened and the old pieces
there pulled down and assorted,” as the Philadel-
phia Press puts it, in order to geta Cabinet. And
when one is got it will, at this rate, be made up of
alot of fossils who know nothing practical about
the running of the great machine of this great Gov-
ernment,
THAT SHERMAN-DAVIS LETTER.

A quiet search is just now being made of the
records and captured property and documents in
the War Department for the letter referred to by
General Sherman in which it was hinted, as he as-
serts, that Mr. Davis wanted a dictatorship created
for himself. Tbe Generai has written to some
friends ere about it, and no effort is being spared
to find the document. The Star of this city pub-
lished the other day a statement to the effect that
every Confederate General in the Senate had stated
to its reporter that no such letter had ever been seen
by them. This does not “count,” however, for it is
now learned that General Sherman does not claim
that the Senator referred to by him had ever seen
the letter, but says that it was captured by bim en-
route to this General, now a Senator.

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT IN NEW YORK.

The nearer the approach of the election of Sen-
ator from the State of New York the more the indi-
cations that President Arthur may be the choice.
There is no doubt that the President would accept
the choice if tendered him, and rather enjoy it, too;
but it is quite an established fact that he would not
go into a fight for it. The President's ideas of pro-
priety are pretty clear and correct, and he would
not be willing to sacrifice the dignity of his office by
entering upon a scramble for a Senatorship before
he had retirea from the Presidential chair. It is to
be hoped that, if elected, he wili be more fortunate
than that other vice-presidential President, John-
son; who died with only thirty days’ service in that
body after his post-Presideutial

ADJOURNMENT.

Several resolutions have been introduced fixing
the date of adjournment for the holidays at the 20th
inst. There scems to bea disposition this year to
omit the buncombe talk about no holiday adjourn-
ment,’ and go quietly home for the two weeks, The
number of members who are here without their
families is unusually great, and the result is that
all are willing to accept the adjournment as a mat-
ter of course. Then, too, a good many want fo at-
tend the New Orleans Exposition during the holiday
season.

It is probably because of the certainty of a pretty
long holiday recess that there are few people here,

At least it is a fact that there are fewer people in
Washington at this time than is usual in the begin-
ning of a session of Congress. The lobbies have tne
appearance of a pasture in February. Occasional-
ly you see an old grizzly fellow who has been here
for ages, browsing around and getting in his work
on the members, but they are few and far between.
The sugar refiners who are a good deal stirred up
over the prospective Spanish reciprocity treaty. ha vo
their regular representative“ here, but he is sel-
dom seen in the lobby.

THF DAKOTA BILL.

Of course the Senate is at liberty to waste its
time on the bill for the admission ef Dakota, if. it
wants to do so, but of course it will not accomplish
anything; for if it it passes it the House will not. It
is easy to see that the House does not propose to do
anything in particular at this session, It is killing
time on the Reagan bill, while the committee are
getting the appropriation bills ready, but when these
come on there will be no timo for anything else.
And they will begin as soon as the House reassem-
bies after the holidays. The committees are dis-
playing great activity, and it would not be at all
surprising, in view of the progress of the River and
Harbor Committee, to see even that usuaily late
bill come to the front by the middle of next month.
This will give the House an excuse to “stand off”
the Dakota bill for another session at least. and
time to think it over and see how a Democratic
State can be admitted at about the same time, and
so keep the honors easy in the Senate which is get-
ting to have too decisive a Republican majority to
suit the House.

Trinity Episcopal Church will be opened for
worship Christmas eve, when an elaborate pro-

Betts, taking the principal part. At the Christmas
morning services Bishop Robertson will be present.
The rector thinks that the new church, though not
the largest, is unquestionably the most complete
and convenient in the city. It seems to be an un-
fortunate thing that the engine house of the cable
company is being built right alongside the church,
as the whirring noise of the rapidly-revolving cables
is caiculated to act asa monotonous disturber of
the peace and quiet of any lovality.

The Redemptorist Fathers will begin a two

sermon at 5 o’clock a. m.: second mass and sermon
at 8:30 a. m., and evening services at 7:3). The
Children's Mission will be given Sunday at 3:30 p.
m. Confessions will be heard from 5 a. m. to 10 b.
m., from Wednesday morning, December 17, till
the mission comes to a close. Regular attendance
at the services and the reception of Sacraments of
Penance and Holy Eucharist will insure the indul-
gences and blessings of the mission.

Bishop Robertson preaches at Independence, Mo.,
this evening and will be at the Kansas City Episco-
pai Church Sunday and Monday, returning home
Tuesday. He goes to Kansas City especially to
hear the grievances against Rev. Mr. Jardine of St.
Mary's Episcopal Church, whois accused by mem-
bers of the parish of having indulged in high
church practices. Mr. Jardine has aiways been
noted for his tendency to ritualistic ceremonies.
and Bishop Robertson, when this time he shail
again engage in bringing the aspiring brother down
to the level of low church requirements, will no
doubt recall the many times a similar confliet was
waged with Mr. Jardine while he officiated in this
city. Mr. Jardine was some years ago pastor of the
Good Sbepherd,and was nearly ali the ume in some
kind of a row with the low church people.

At the earnest request of the Christian people of
Belleviile, Misses Jennie Smith and Adelaide Sher-
man, the railroad evangelists, held two very suc-
cessitul meetings there Wednesday, being assisted
by Secretary Buchanan and Mr. Chess Birch, and
as a result the new V. M. C. A. in that town is
flourishing, under the control of Dr. West. So deep
is the interest awakened among railroad men and
their families, Misa Smith will continue her meet-
ings in East St, Louis several days longer, probably
until Monday. Why,“ said Secretary Buchanan,
“her power is something wonderful. Every nigut
now for two weeks the crowds have been so great
that we have had to bring in boards and seats of ali
kinds, and frequentiy to request the ladies to re-
main away, to enable the men, to whom the ad-
dresses were chiefly made, to find room.

Rev. Dr. J. H. Foy, formerly pastor of Central
Christian Church, who entered the Episcopal fold
last summer, read the service at the Cnurca of the
Holy Communion last Sunday for the first time,
aud his impressive intoning and total wantof any
pom posity e an excelient impression. The period
of postulancy through which every candidate for the
Episcopal priesthood must pass, and which is of six
months’ duration, began for him July 19 and conse-
quentiy closes January 19 next. The ordination
Will take place in all likelihood in the Church of the
Holy Communion as soon after January 19 as is
convenient for Bishop Bobertson, after which Dr.
Foy will be ready to begin his work as a pastor all
over again. Inasmuci as the time is drawing near
when he will assume the important duties of rector,
he will familiarize himself with the service for
several — 4 by reading it for Rev. Mr. Rapert,
and to enable him to do so the Bishop has issued a
lay license, which permits a postulant to wear
the black gown.

READY FOR THE FRAY,

Prof. McLaughlin, Who Is To Meet Mul-
doou Sunday Arrives this Morning.
Prot. McLaughiin, the Detroit wrestler who is to
meet William Muldoon in a mixed wrestling match
next Sunday afternoon, arrived in town this morn-
ing after a journey from Detroit which was ren-

dered tedious by delay on account of the storm.
The Professor is looking remarkably well, recent
bard work having brought his weight down to 210
pounds, so that in point of condition he will not be
beliind his antagonist, who is known to have
made very careful p ions for the
contest. in answer to a questionthe Professor
stated that he was 40 yearsof age and that he had
been anxious for some time to give up wrestling and
confine himself to railroading, in which he is en-
gaged when not promoting the cause of athletics,
but that the ambition of other wrestlers will not al-
low him to remain in retirement, He expressed a
lively appreciation for Mr. Muldoon's ability, and
acknowledged that he was invincible at Greeco-
man. I have never met any one whom I could
not throw at collar-and-elbow," the Professor add-
ed, so that the present match. which includes
BOTH THESE STYLES,
and also back and side hold, and
catch-as-catch-can, wiil place us on an even footing
and provide, in all probability, a close and exciting
contest.

“Comparing yourself and your antagonist, where
does each excel?”

“Muldoon, who is a 5 made man, relies
most upon his wondertul development from the
waist up. My strength very largely lies here (pat-
ting athigh which loomed up like one of the Court
House columns). When I get one of these around a
man I fetch him unless he's tied to something.“

Mere you born in Detroit!“

“No. leome from Oneida County, New York,
where all the boys begin to wrestle almost as soo
as they can stand. We had very few amusemen
in that part of the country when I was a boy, and
athletic exercises, especially wrestling, took their
place. A man who was not ready to wrestle had no
Ocvasion to stop in that countfy; he might just as
well pass on!“

The Professor is stopping at the Lindell Hotel.
He will dono more work previous to the match,
his experience being that a cessation of training
and a couple of days’ rest before the event is most
beneficial.

ST. JOHN'S CRUCIFIXION.

The Apostle of Prohibition Entirely Cut by
His Fellow Kansans.

Mr. D. L. Anthony, editor of the Leavenworth
Times, is in the city to day stopping at the Southern.
Mr. Anthony was seen in the rotunda of the hotel
vy & Post-Dispatcu reporter, with whom he chatted
ut politics in Kansas.

“Did you regard as strange that St. John received
tuch a small vote in his own State of Kansas?”

Nat at all. It was not strange. The Republicans
oi Kansas, when St. John went East, saw through
bs whole game and took the only course
they could take. The temperance men all repudi-
ted him. St. John went East and made the best
bargain he could. We have it on the best kind of
evidence that he took $25,000 for his part in the
campaign. The Republicans promised him that
mount before the October election in Ohio and
beid him off in that State. When Elkins found that
Ohio was won for the Republicans he declared the
bargain off and let St. John take his course. He
then went direct to the Democrats and threatened

to withdraw from the oe ge unless he was
paid and he

In the light of the result is it amy wonder that Kan-
«45 Kepublicans should have no use for St. John?”

Is prouibittion dead in Kansas“

“I may say that I think it is; that is, it will never
be embodied in a party platform. St. John was
ected Governor on it and had the Republicans of
the State at his back, but he has sold them out, and
they are better Republicans than Probibitionists.”

“Will there be any attempt to repeal the prohibi-
tion amendment!

“I think there will be à constitutional convention

and on the stagngth this the prohibition voters
vere nuzzied and were not allowed to say a word.
This much was done. and with that stand taken, the
temper of the party is shown very plainly. There
willbe no more ibition crazes, but I think
„ probable that the. amendment will be
reversed by a convention called for the purpose.
There are undoubtedly plenty of Republicans who
tre temperance men, and who favor Prohibition.
bul there ars others who have taken a stand
tue Other way, and in a choice the ruin

with regard to the miniture St. Louis Bridge which
he proposes to exhibit there. He wants two spans
of twenty feet each and one of twenty-five feet. As
ouly one side of the bridge is to be shown and the
roadway on it is not to be more than three feet
wide, he thinks it could be constructed at a small
expense. Mr. Harlow has referred the letter to Dr.
Taussig, through whom he bopes the project will
be accomplished.

ST. JOHN’S SQUEAL.

The Prohibition Leader Writes a Seathing
Epistie.

BLoomixcton, III., December 12.—Rev. John C.
Hanna of this city has received a jetter from ex-
Governor St. John, in which he says: “The whole
story of the Republican papers that I, at any time
in my life, either directly or indirectly, proposed to
sell out to the Republican, Democratic or any other

particular party or organization, is simply one of
the many infamous and malicious lies for which the
Revublican press during the campaign just closed
has been noted. If I had desired to have sold my
principles for money or office I couid have done so
years ago, and would not have waited to have pe-
gotiated with a party that is morally and finan-
cially bankrupt. in the late campaign the Na-
tional Prohibition party defrayed my ex-
penses, and gave to the cause my time
and labor without money and without price.
I am to-day, and have always been, comparatively
a poor man; too poor to be bought. The Republic-
an party may burn me in effigy and continue its
threats of personal violence. it may its flood-
gates of falsehood and villification and bitterness
upon me, but it can never swerve me one jot, how-
ever little. f rom doing what my conscience tells me is
right. The campaign of 1888 has already begun,
and the wurfare against the liquor traffic will be
vigorously prosecuted, and ihe y that stands
in the way of the movement of the pie wili get
hurt. The spirit of mtolerance exhibited by the
Republican press to-day is doing for that party just
what the same spirit did for the pro-siavery party
thirty years ago. Hanging men in efficy, induiging
in falsehood and villification is net argument. nor
will it in this day and age of free schools, Christian
homes and free men scare anybody or cause any
one to abandon their principles at the dictation of
any political party.

Ten years ago our well-known but eccentric

wealth being estimated at $4,250,000 taels ($5,-

each of his ten wives he provided a mansion
and a retinue of servants. His habits were the
same asthose of our jeunesse doree. He fre-

or a dinner or evening supper.

Beyond this extravagant living be indulged
in cards and speculation on the Bourse. His
wives, and especially wife No. 6, became
alarmed and repeatedly besought him to change
his ways and give up his spendthrift habits.

Bad Weather Hurting the Renting Trade—
Real Estate Men Watching the Progress
of Senator Plumb’s Bill—Talks With the
Architects—What the Real Estate Agents
Have to Say.

“How do you expect that we can do business in
weather like this?" a prominent real estate man
asked of the Post-Disparcn reporter yesterday.
“Dye suppose anybody would go out to look at
property on a day likethis? Besides, we'd have to
take shovels along so we'd be able to show ‘em the
land.” In his humorous way the gentleman in
question described ly the general opinion
of real estate men regarding the condition of their
business. The dullness of this market natural to
the present season has been very much aggravated
by the weather, whieh has paralyzed the sale de-
‘partment and almost puta quietus upon renting.
Aboat the only demand for domiciles is that sup-
plied by those who want to rent flats or small
houses. The Real Estate Exchange is the place at
which to find the exact condition of this branch of
business, and Secretary Priest was forced to ac-
knowledge that his visitors had been few in number
during the week, and displayed no such great anx-
iety in their house-hunting as is evidenced during
the busier seasons of the year.

A subject which is occupying the attention of real
estate men who devote time and attention to the
sale of large properties outside of the city is the
fate of Senator Plumb's bill, now pending in Con-
gress, to fforfeit all the lands granted
to railroads, which have not fulfilled the condi-
tions under which the grants were made.
There is ready for investment in these lands
large quantities of English capital, which is only
waiting for the fate of the bill in question to be de-
vided. The English capitalists are large buyers,
and several of them stand ready to purchase

TRACTS OF WESTERN LANDS
of from 50.000 to 5,000. 000 acres in extent as soon
as they feei that they can do so with safety. The
junior member of the real estate firm of M. R. Col-
ins, Jr., & Co., has just gone East to negotiate
several sales of large Western properties with En-
lish capitalists, who. have come over to invest.
hen last heard from he reported that negotiations
were progressing very favorably. This very im-
portant branch of t business is very largely
monopolized in this city, its central position giving
itan advantage which our astute and energetic
realestate men have not failed to improve to the
full. On the subject of local trade the firm re-
ported that the week had been very flat and unin-
teresting. They had not made any sales and they
did not anticipate any marked livening up of busi-
ness before the new year.

Tontrup & Vallat are not able to improve upon
the previous report, and they said they expected
the market to be dull for some time to come.
There had been some little og for money, but
not enough to warrant any hope for future inquiry
of consequence. No sales had been made. The
only persons,“ they said, from whom we are hay-
ing any inquiry are the bargain hunters, but they
are not very successful,as, despite the depression in
business, holders of property are not displaying
any desire to part with it at less than the rates
which prevailed in more prosperous times. Only
those who have urgent reason for so doing are
sacrificing their property.”

Booth, Barada & Co. reported that they had sev-

eral transactions under weigh which would prob-
ably be completed by the end of next week. The
week, as far as actual accomplishments were con-
cerned, had been a dull one. Renting had been dull,
the demand for money tame and the general aspect
anything but encouraging.
Taaffe, Emerson & Co. reported that the week's
business had been dull but, notwithstanding, they
had been able to dispose of the following property:
25 feet on Clark avenue, near Jefferson avenue,
$1,000; a two-story brick house on Chestnut street
near Beaumont, 25 feet front, $4.390; a six-room,
two-story brick house at 2751 East Jefferson avenue,
$1,600; and an eight-room stone front house on Del-
mar avenue, west of Grand for $7,500.

Marcus A. Wolff & Co. reported that

RENTING HAD SLACKENED UP

and would hardiy revive before the new year, when
the ma uring of a large number of leases would
probably liven matters up somewhat. There was
not much demand for money, which was in good
supply at 6 to 7 per cent. On the wuaole business
had improved in the last ten days, and during the
past week they had made the following sales: Nos

908, 910 and 912 N. Broadway, 51 feet front, for
$10,500, 60 feet on the corner of Jefferson avenue
and Madison street for $2,100, and a lot in Fair-
mount addition for $350.

E. S. Warner & Co. Said that there was too much
snow on the ground to permit of anything like

enthusiasm when discussing the real estate
market, in which they did not anticipate
any revival of interest before the

good demand for flats and small houses;
this branch of business was duil.

J. E. Greffet reported a very quiet market. About

he most interesting feature was the fact that per-
sons intending to build next spring are already en-
tering with spirit into the work of making prelim-
inary calculation, and from the present aspect it
looked as though next year's operations in that line
will be very extensive. From the inquiry already
beginuing it was plain that property between La-
fayette Park and Conipton avenue was going to be
in strong demand next year. The new Tayon avenue
bridge had given this desirable property a handy
outlet, and large building Gperations would be the
rule there for several years to come.

T. G. Watts & Co., as usual, showed up with a
— array of sales, among them being a six- room

ouse on the north side of North Market street, be-
tween Grand and Spring avenues, for $3,500: 50 feet

AMONG THE ARCHITECTs.

The change of weather which set in Tuesday
morning, “he a complete stop to all building not
under roof. The work on the excavations at Fifth
and Pine and Ninth and Pine, the two largest con-
tracts in that early stage, was completely checked
by the weather. At the new Drummond. tobacco
factory at Fourth and Spruce and the building at
Fourth and Elm Streets glaziers are engaged, and
the interior work is being rapiply pushed forward.
No work will be begun with the weather in its pres-
ent condition, Several of the architects have plans
under way which will be let out about January 1or
15, to be begun in the early spring.

A metting of the St. Louis Institute of Architects
was held Monday night with Mr. J. W. Herthal in
the chair. The special, order of business was the
consideration of eases for forming a State As-

Association of Architects which met in Chicago last
month and which will hold its next annua! conven-
tion in this city next November. That organization
represents about twenty States from which replies
came to the invitations to architects. President Ills-
ley of the Western Association was present and pro-
posed aunion with the Western Association. As
there was not a quorum present the proposition was
only informally discussed and the matter was laid

over until the next meeting, which
will be held on the first Monday
in January. President IIlsiey said the pros pect for

a large attendance from the West, Southwest and
South to the next convention was vefy good, and
the local architects would huve their hands full to
entertain the visitors.

The old gasometer of the St.Louis Gas Light Com
pany at the corner of Fourteenth and Gratiot-
streets was destroyed by collapse and fire at 11
o'clock last niglit, the catastrophe being attended
by a scene which had something of sublimity in it.
The gasometer was 27 years old, and was a famil-
iar object to the sight of nearly every resident of
the city. It consisted of an immense tank, like au
inverted hat-pox, made of sheeta of iron riveted
togther, and fitted into a circular héle in the ground.
As gas was manufactured at the works on Convent

of these
having
R aibegmiber toe
weights balanced y or ) er
weight of the tank itself, and could be diminished
or increased at will, according, as the gas pressure
in the district supplied from the meter was to
be reduced or increased. Thus twelve pillars,
which were connected in a cirele by cast-iron
girders, nad to bear at times not only the weight of
the meter, but of the w ts which balanced
its Gas heavy statm of yesterday covered the top

of the gasometer with several inches of snow, thus
adding many tons to the ordinary weight of the
ers. Then came the sudden cold which

very rapidly chilled the old cast iron, which was
already crystallized by the extreme heat and culd
of over a quarter of a 2 é
About 9:30 o'clock last night two of these pillars
confessed their weakness, and with a sharp crack
broke off about twenty-five feet above the ground,
falling in against the tank, which was high in
air.

THE WATCHMAN __
heard tne noise and soon discovered its cause. He
sent for the engineer, Thos. G. Lausden, who came
immediately. Examining the tank be quickly saw
that it must go to wreck, beca the
riving way of the two girders left a space of one
bundred feet without supports, which made the
whole concern lopsided and threw that much ad-
ditional weight upon the other ten girders, which
were already overioaded. The crash was merely
a question of hours or even minutes.
The gauge showed that there. were 360.000
feet of gas in the tank, and as this volume of in-
flammable fluid would certainly be liberated, with
possibly disastrous consequences to the neighboring
residences, Mr. Lansden and Officer Palmer busied
themseives in 7 7 the people living in a radius
of half a block of the danger eus situation. Care was
aiso taken to keep people from approaching
too near the inclosure. There was no danger
of an explosion of the tank for the reason
that gas cannot either burn or explode until mixed
with air, and a torch thrust into a filled tank would
not explode it. The danger was that the surround-
ing premises would be so thoroughly charged with
escaping gas thatthe fluid would become alight
somewhere, and then there would be a flash- an ex-
plosion in act with great mischief
to the people and property who
would be enveloped by the instantarieous blaze.
In less than ten minutes after the crack an anx-
ious, excited crowd of people surrounded the block
and watched the huge dark object which was the
occasion of their solicitude. Only a few yards east
from

THE THREATENED TANK

was one of about the same capacity, which was

but recently built at great expense,
and very natural Mr. Lansden was
racked with anx for its safety.

He remained inside the intlosure and watched
every vibration of the gigantic, overloaded siruci-
ure, in the hope that when the disaster came he
might be able to do something to save the new gas-
ometer.

Slowly the crippled gasometer toppled and sank,
the unbroken pillars toppling with it, and every
movement being attended witn a loud creaking and
snapping. Tbe gas pressure in the district was
very perceptibly increased, but the general public
knew ncihing of the cause. The excitement
increased with every moment, and all the families
in the neighborhood were in a panicky state, people
having arisen from their beds collected their vaiua-
bies and prepared to flee. Blanched faces and
tearful eyes were the rule among the dwellizgs.

At five minutes before 11 o'clock the climax came,

The immense structure collapsed, all the
pilars except three giving way at
once, and faliiag inward to form

a part of the general wreck. The pillarsand gir-
ders tore great rents in the side of the tank, out of
which the gas rushed withalond “swisha!” and in
less than a minute the entire 300, 000 feet had been
liberated into the atmosphere. By some unknown or

after it began to escape, the engineer's theory be-

ing that the friction the clash-
ing iron columns gave out. the spark
which did it. Were it not for this the

fluid would bave spread out among the surrounding
houses in such volumes as toinsure an explosion
from some lamp or candle. As it was, the river of
gas was instantaneously fred as it flowed upward,
and fora brief minute the grandest volume of
flame ever seen in this city lighted up the sky. It
was fully 200 feet in diameter and extended two or
three hundred feet into the air ahove
the wreck. The light was certainly visible twenty
miles away, and from its brilliancy and brevity
must have been mistaken for a lonesome flash of
lightning. In every part of the city people who
were on the street at that late hour were startled
by the phenomenon, and the impression held for a
moment that some immense bullding was
ablaze. There was a great commotion
among the people who surrounded the inclosure,
and a general stampede tock piece, accompanied
by loud cries of fear. Mr.Lansden,the superintendent
had remained too close to the wreck and some of
tue blaze caught his face and singed him slightly;
but no damage whatever was done to the new gas-
ometer, and he washappy. In about a minute
after the first flash the magnificent spectacular
display was at an end, the danger wus
over, and nothing remained but a smok-
ing, sizzling ruin of old iron, while
the neighborhood for a radius of about
half a mile was . permeated with a fstench
of gas. The fear that the other tank would
be fired also seemed to keep alive the terror of the
hour, and peopie who had gotten ready to run away
preceeded to do so as soon as the crash and flas
was over. The snow-covered streets were filled with
rushing, shrieking women and children. all
calrying something, and their exclamarions
and signals did much to check the crowd which
came rushing to the scene of the iilumination. . Ex-
cited people turned in fire alarins on every side, as
many as five signals being received in less than a
minute by the

He answered the first. which came from Eleventh
and Poplar, where some nervous party had pulled
the wire of a box utterly regardless of the fact that
he was over a half a mile away from the fire. When
the engines finaily reached the scene, there was
nothing to be done, It will require an expenditure
of nearly $100,000 to make good the loss, and the
iron of the wreck is not worth over $5,000. While
a new tank is being built, the southern district of
the city will have a very light gas pressure, and the
company will be duly anathematized every night.

Near Marrerra, Ga.
Some months ago I bought a bottle of Dr. Brad-
fields Female Regulator, and used it in my family
with great satisfaction. I have recommended it to
three families and they have found it to be just
what is claimed for it. The females who have used
it are now in perfect health and able to attend to

their household duties, Rev. H. B. Joumnson.

SPRINGFIELD, TENN.

Dr. J. Braprretp: Dear Sir—My daughter has
been suffering for many years with that dreadful
affliction known as Female Disease, which has cost
me many dollars, and notwithstanding I had the
best medical attendance, could not find relief. I
have used many other kinds of medicines * hout
any effect. I had just about given her up, was out
of heart, but happened in the store of W. W. Eckler
several weeks since, and he, knowing of my daugh-
ter's affliction, persuaded me to buy a bottle of your
Female Regulator. She began to improve at once.
I was so delighted with its effects that I bought sev-
eral more bottles of it; and knowing what I do about
it, if to-day one of my family was suffering with
that awful disease, I would have it if it cost $50 a
bottle, for 1 can truthfully say it has cured my
daughter sound and well. and myself and wife do
most heartily recommend your Female Regulator to
